Fancy bicycle made from unwanted materials( Recycle )




There is no end in finding out when and how recycle came to us. Some said it was introduced in the 1970's while some said, it was 12,000 years ago. Well, to me, it doesn't matter who or  when was it invented. The main thing is that recycling helped the world to reduce unwanted waste and turn it into a useful material, thus minimizing the whole globe from overfilling unwanted waste being dumped into the earth, sea and air. 
When i read an article stating recycling began about 12,000 years ago, i believe so. Many years ago, our ancesters had been doing recycling too , but there was no plastic in those days. A very simple example was, using dirty rice water after washing the rice to water the plants. Not only it save water from wasting but dirty rice water, can make our plants very happy.😊😁 

Recycle is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. 

We should guide and trained our young ones on the awareness and the importance of recycling, Helping to keep our world a safer place to live in and recycle is one of them. The young should be encouraged to use creative ways on how to reuse the  recycled  materials. There are many DIY creative ways and smarter ways of such materials.

Last month, as I was having lunch at my one of my favourite noodle shops, Lintas Pan Mein,
I saw a bicycle, made from recycle materials, parked at the side of the shop. I found out it belongs to the cook, Encik Seju Yohanis, who was preparing the noodles for customers at Lintas Pan Mein. He always rides his battery operated bicycle to work. It took him two weeks to complete his bicycle. He used whatever people threw into the bin. He collected any unwanted metal and created this battery operated bicycle on his days off. Seju only spend a few dollars for a small battery and paint.

Switch for lights, small black box with blue top is the battery and a plunger looking item infront of the battery, is the horn
